The day before St. Patrick's Day, enjoy ballads, original music, humorous songs and anecdotal stories from Ireland performed by Joe Leary, a talented solo vocalist with guitar. For over 35 years, Joe has been entertaining Irish-American audience’s throughout the Greater New England area with interpretive musical arrangements and a resonant vocal style. With ancestral family roots from Ballyshannon, Donegal, Ballyvaughn, Clare, and Cork, it is no wonder where Joe’s love for Celtic music and Irish traditions stem from. A 1979 graduate of Boston’s Berklee College of Music, Joe has spent more that half of his life dedicated to the music education of children in both the public and private sectors while still maintaining an active performing schedule. CDs for sale after the concert for those interested. Co-sponsored by the Friends of the Library and Tewksbury Cultural Council.
